Iglesia de Santa María
Santa Maria Church

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

San Miguel Arcángel Church

This baroque-style church was built in the last quarter of the 18th century to replace the earlier 16th-century, Seville Mudéjar-Gothic-style church destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. It was built by Pedro Silva and Pedro José Díaz in 1760-1762.

Huévar del Aljarafe. Detalle de la puerta de la Iglesia Parroquial de Ntra Sra de la Asunción
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church

This church, consisting of a nave and two aisles, was completed in 1510 in a simple Gothic style with a few Mudéjar elements. Three chapels were added later in the 16th and 17th centuries. The entire church is vaulted. The underground passages that run the length of the church converge on an underground crypt that might have been a Christian refuge during the Moorish rule.
